Modeling and Simulation of Plug-In Hybrid Electric Powertrain System for Different Vehicular Application

摘要

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) presents the new trend of clean energy vehicle development due to their advantage of all electric driving, allowable external charging, lower emissions, and lower petroleum fuel consumption, comparing to the maturing HEV. Applications of advanced plug-in hybrid powertrain system technology to different type of vehicles lead to the need to identify the key characteristics of these different vehicular applications, and to develop more systematic and effective powertrain design methods. In this work two different types of PHEV powertrain architecture were investigated: a) pre- trans series-parallel multi-regime plug-in hybrid electric commercial vehicle (SPMR-PHEV), and b) post-trans parallel plug-in hybrid electric formula racing car. Model-based design (MBD) methods were used for powertrain system modelling of the two PHEV applications. With the powertrain system models developed using MATLAB Simulink and dSPACE Automotive Simulation Models (ASM), the powertrain configurations, control strategies and key features were investigated. The simulation results on standard driving cycles for each model using different rule-based control strategies were compared. The differences and key features of two types of vehicle in design and calibration were presented and analyzed.
